Hunhow wakes up the next morning almost completely oblivious to what happened at the hospital last night. He gets up and goes downstairs to get breakfast. He sees his mom and dad watching the news and the report is focused on his recent crime. The news report explains how a group of Anthro and Humans friends were walking down the alley and found the bodies of the two Anthro Mountain lions. The police are investigating the crime but inform the public the two mountain lions actually have a connection to 5 other purse snatchings and robberies in the city. Hunhow watches the news story from the stairs. He then waits for it to go off before continuing down the stairs to the kitchen. "Morning, son" Joseph says. "Morning, dad" Hunhow replies. "Oh we left breakfast in the toaster oven for you to heat up, sweetheart" Jane says. "Okay, thanks" Hunhow says. He goes to eat the food and settle in for the Saturday morning. He spends one hour watching TV with his parents before getting a text. At first he didn't recognize the text because it came from a number he didn't text before. But once he checks the caller ID, his heart almost stops beating. It was a message from Holly. She says she wants to meet him at her place. And if he doesn't show up, she is coming to his house. Hunhow is now in a full blown adrenaline rush. He texts Holly back. "How did you get my number"? he asked her. "Your father gave it to me". "And I want to talk to you about something very important". Hunhow tries to come up with a lie. "Umm, I can't because I have to go help my girlfriend and her parents". "Your father told me you planned to stay home for the day so I know that's a lie" she replied. "FUCK"!! Hunhow says to himself in his head. "Holly, can we please just talk about this another time". "HUNHOW, I'm serious". "Now quit playing games and get your ass over here" she texts. "Sign" Hunhow gets up and goes to get ready. He showers, gets clean clothes on, grabs his car keys and waves goodbye to his parents. "Where are you going"? Jane asked. "Oh, Holly asked me to meet up at her place for something" he says. "Alright, just be careful" Jane says. Hunhow leaves the house and goes to his truck.

Hunhow drives to Holly's house. He finds her waiting for him in her driveway. He exits his truck and she tells him to go inside. She shows him to her living room. "Sit down, young man" she says in a serious voice. He sits down on her couch. "Hunhow, look at me". He does what she asked and he looks at her. She stares at him for a moment before speaking. "I know you're the punisher" she says. "The punisher"?? "You got to be crazy". He tries acting as if she is crazy. "HUNHOW, no more games". "My friend told me everything about what happened last night". "Look me in the eyes and tell me the truth" "DO NOT lie to me" she says in a serious voice. Hunhow decides he cannot play stupid especially since Holly was not in the mood. "Okay, okay I'll tell you the truth". "Just please promise not to tell my family, friends, or people I know". Holly nods her head and Hunhow explains everything. From the Shipping port to his Uncle's killer to everything up until now. "I knew it" Holly says. "You saved my friend from those monsters, didn't you". "Y-yes" Hunhow says. Holly gets up from her chair and walks over and hugs Hunhow. "I won't tell anyone about what you've done" she says in a reassuring voice. "I'm not a good person". "For what I've done, I'm no different to them" he says. Holly gasps and covers her mouth with her paws. "Don't say that". "You're nothing like them". She hugs him tighter. "I actually have someone I like you to meet". "You can come downstairs now" Holly says. With that a female shark comes downstairs and Hunhow quickly recognizes her as the shark he saved from last night. "Hunhow, meet Samantha".

"H-Hi". "Oh hey, nice to see you again" Hunhow says. "Thanks again for saving me from those guys" she says while blushing a little. "Anytime". "Hunhow, is it alright if you stay here for a while"? "Wait, what"? "Like maybe for a couple days" Holly asked. "What for"?? Hunhow asked all confused. "It's something important". "And don't worry your mom and dad both said yes". "Okay, but why"? he asked. "It's a need to know".

~ Time Skip ~ Sometime Later ~

Hunhow spends the day explaining his current situation to Samantha while Holly seems to be on edge. "Is there something wrong"? he asked her. "Oh no, no nothing sorry". "Was I making you nervous"? she asked him. "N-no it's alright".

Hunhow goes to take a shower. He showers for a while before finishing. He quickly brushes his teeth with a spare toothbrush he finds. He then goes to leave the bathroom when he bumps into Holly in the hallway. Unfortunately he accidentally drops his towel and it shows his private areas. Holly blushes and quickly turns away while Hunhow apologizes and goes into the room to get changed. He changes into his men's underwear and shorts. It was spring and kinda hot that night so he didn't feel like wearing a shirt. Holly knocks on the door to tell him dinner is ready. He gets up and goes downstairs to eat with her and Samantha. After eating, Samantha decides to head back to her home so she says goodbye to Hunhow and Holly before leaving. "Well, I guess imma head to sleep" Hunhow says. "Okay, don't worry about the dishes". "I'll let the dish washer take care of them" Holly says. Hunhow goes upstairs to his bedroom that Holly allowed him to use while he stays with her. Hunhow sat in his bed quite confused. Holly brought him here to confront him about the whole punisher situation as well as for him to meet her friend again. But why is she acting all weird. Maybe she hasn't had a guy over at her house before. And besides she's in a Militia so she looks all tough and army style. Hunhow thought about this for a while until he decided maybe it wasn't a big deal. He turns off the lights and goes to fall asleep in bed.

Hunhow wakes up to something soft almost fuzzy in bed with him. He doesn't know what it is so he turns his light on. Then he sees something he wishes he could wash out of his eyes. Holly in panties and a sports bra in bed with him. He jolts out of bed and she suddenly wakes up. "H-HOLLY"?!? "What are you doing in bed with me"??. "Oh, umm this is..." she is stuttering and looking down at his feet. "Did you sleep walk into the wrong room"? Hunhow asked her. "Hunhow I'm embarrassed to say this but, I-I umm" she has trouble saying it. "I like you". Hunhow's jaw drops and he is taken aback by the sudden confession. "Holly, you-you like me"? "Yes, yes I do since you were in the Militia I always thought you were handsome and cute". "I always thought of you as a sweet kid but when you got older, I started having more than just those thoughts about you". Hunhow sits there is awe for a moment. "So, is that why you snuck into my bed"? he asked her. "I snuck into the bed after you feel asleep because I-I". "Oh God, what was I thinking". "I wanted to sleep with you" she said. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING"?! Hunhow says. "Oh come on, your 18 plus at that age and you're the first person I've ever actually liked". "But my parents" Hunhow started to say. But he is quickly cut off. "I told your parents I liked you alot not just as a family friend". "And your mother said you could stay here with me for a couple days so I could work up the courage to confess". "DAMNIT MOM"!! Hunhow yells. Hunhow couldn't believe his own mom as well as father would actually allow this. Especially since they both know he is in a relationship with Crystal. "Listen, I-I understand if you don't like me and don't have the same feelings". "I just wanted you to know". Hunhow calms down and quickly hugs Holly. He doesn't blame her, he knows she just got a little carried away. "I don't hate you". "And to be honest, I kinda liked you too cuz I thought you were umm, well pretty". Her ears perked up when he said that. "I just have to figure out what to do from here". "But I cannot do this to Crystal". "Who's that"? Holly asked. "Umm, my g-girlfriend". "WHAT"!? Holly shouts. "Ahh, don't scream in my ear" Hunhow says. "Sorry" she says. "Okay, how about this". "Let's not get to ahead of ourselves". "Why don't we just sleep in the same bed, okay". Holly's tail starts to wag a little. "Oh my god, really"? "Sure, but just for tonight" he says. Hunhow and Holly both get back into bed. They both snuggle each other. Holly wraps her arms and tail around him and burys her head under his chin. She quickly falls asleep after that and Hunhow watches her for a little while. His heart starts to beat extremely fast. He slowly nuzzles his head against the top of her's and falls asleep.

~ Time Skip ~ Few Days Later ~

Hunhow finishes his stay at Holly's house and drives home. He thinks about her and what she was planning but decides not to worry about it. He makes it back home after taking a quick pitstop for gas and for the restroom. He finally makes it back home. He goes to the front door and unlocks it with his key. He greets his parents. But he doesn't let them off the hook about the whole situation. They apologize and decide to make it up to him by ending his punishment early so he is no longer on curfew or grounded. He spends the rest of the day watching TV and Chatting with his friends. And another day flys by without incident...
